Is that so uncommon? I mean, maybe I've been particularly lucky in my career but that sounds like standard behavior to me. I mean you already feel bad enough for blewing it that it's no use to add some more to it. And as the article says it happens literally to every one of us at some point. So unless your boss is a genuine bag, that's the expected way they should react
Unfortunately there are a non-negligible number of managers that take to the 'stick' approach and will yell at people, etc. Many people seem to be okay working in that environment so there doesn't seem to be pressure to stop that behavior.
I have been a graduate dev for four months now and i already feel like im not good enough on almost a daily bases. Though I do enjoy my code reviews because i know it will improve me as i go along.
